As fast as the monthly meetings
of the various trades and labor
nnions are held, the resolutions
adopted by the Carpenters1 and Join
ers1 association at the mass meeting
recently held at Hillier's hall pro
testing against the board of super,
visors engaging Chairman S. J. Col
lins, of the republican county com
mittee, in connection with the court
house plans are being endorsed and
the board will hear the voice of labor
on the subject, even if Mr. Collins1
particular friends on the building
committee in their extreme devotion
to him have seen tit to ignore all that
has been done so far.
A I'niun Men's Views.
"We are not obiectine to Mr. Col
lins on the score of his politics, or his
official standing politically," said a
leading labor onion man conversing
with an Argus representative. "Mr.
ollins has shown himself to be the
bitter, unrelenting foe of organized
lauor. sow we no not object to a
man who docs not employ union la'
bor, but to a man who on any and all
occasions lights union labor, dis
criminates against it and has put
lumseii ont to antagonize us and do
us injury because we are nnion men,
we feel we nave a just grievance,
We are not opposing Mr. Collins be
cause of his convictions on the labor
qnestion whether favorable or preju
dicial to labor's interest that it is
his privilege. But we naturally re
sent a man who is organized la
bor's steadfast foe. We have asked
the board not to recognize a man who
so obnoxious to the organized
labor classes, and we are more deter
mined now to present our most vig-
orous protest in view of the snap
bat Mr. t ollins appears to nave with
some of the committee in being se.
lected, despite all that has been t-ald
Lnion labor is opposed to snaps in
any form."
Stirred l'p a Whirlwind.
The defiant attitude of Mr. Collins'
friends in the building committee
has, it may be added, stirred up
whirlwind that is not confined to the
ranks of the labor unions. People
regardless of politics have been beard
to express their disapproval of the
manner in which the chairman s par
ticular friends have succeeded in
working him into a position, espoc-
ally at this stage of the proceedings
where the county will be obliged to
pay for his services.
J he committee expected to reach
home tonight from its jaunt, but it
is understood now that in order to
complete its trip, it will not be back
until Monday or Tuesday.
Our purpose in advertising is to let everybody
who buys clothing that is all mankind here

A CIVIC FEDERATION.
Prospect of Oae Betac Formed la Berk
lalaad.
The movement such as is headed
by Dr.' Parkhurst in New York and
the Civic Federation in Chicago look
ing toward reform in municipal gov.
ernment has reached Rock Island.
and a civic federation is to be organ
ized here as described by one of the
leaders to nnite into one non-political,
non-sectarian center all the
forces that are laboring to advance
our municipal, philanthropic, indus
trial and moral interests, and to
serve aa a medium of acquaintance
and sympathy between persons who
reside in the different parts of the
city, who pursne different vocations.
who are by birth of different nation
alities, who profess different creeds
or no creed, who for any of these rea
sons are unknown to each other, who
nevertheless have similar interests
in the well being of our city, and
who agree in the wish to promote
every kind of municipal welfare.

of the Seventh ward. In speaking
on the subject, a petition in circula
tion, signed by many citizens, savs
Lvman J. Gage, president of the
Civic Federation, of Chicago, has
aptly outlined the purposes of such
federations. He says: Itistheaim
of the federation to bring into co
ordination those social and moral
forces that make for the common wcl
fare.' It purposes to quicken and
deepen in the minds of all onr citi
zens a conviction of their dnties to
the civic whole. To this end it will
endeavor to spread a better knowl
edge of our municipal organization
how it is operated, and how, by the
inattention and neglect of the voter,
it becomes corrupted, extravagant
and wasteful. It will encourage at
tendance at the primaries and the
-selection of good candidates for
office. In short, it will reassert the
principle that the people as the
sovereign are entitled to honest and
faithful service from their servants
it will repudiate the proposition that
municipal agencies representing gll
the people, paid for their services by
taxes levied upon all. have a right to
use the power and influence thus de
rived to promote the political for
tunes of anv set of individuals or any
party. The Civic Federation is ab
solutely non-partisan in all its the
ories and plans of action, and it will
frown down all attempts, if such tie
made, to pervert its actions to the
advantage of any political party,
The idea of the Civic Federation is.
primarily, an educational one. It
invites the co-operation of all ",'c-
ties and organizations, regardless of
party or sect, in its effort to raise
the standard and ethics of municipal
life.'"
A meeting for organization will be
bold in the near future.

Improved Carrier Service.
The improved carrier service of the
Bock Island postoiBce. made possible
by the putting on of an additional
carrier, went into effect today. Bv
it a new route is created, sonth of
Fifth avenue, between Fourteenth
and .twentieth streets, which is as
signed to Carrier Henrv Burris. The
business district, north of Fifth ave
nue and between Fourteenth and
Twentieth streets, is now composed
of two divisions. Carrier Walter
Harms having that portion between
Seventeenth and Twentieth, and
Carrier Matt Bogan the part between
fourteenth and seventeenth. By
thus shortening the business route.
which also insures a quicker delivery
to that territory, the service is im
proved in all parts of the city, and
the people of the extreme east part of
the city will have the benefit of an
early morning delivery, while busi
ness men will be given what they
have never had before, a delivery
at 5 p. m. daily, after the arrival of
the eastern mail.
